Westgate Resorts review: class action lawsuit 24

We purchased our timeshare at the Westgate Smokey Mountains Resort back in the early 2000's. I have always paid my maintenance, property taxes, and insurance fees on time. Well our first stay, we found out that we didn't get what they showed us and were pretty upset, so they told us at that time, that we could request to stay in the cabins and not the lodge. So, we waited two more years and gave our week as a wedding gift to our daughter, and they stayed in the cabins. Two years later we requested our week to stay in the cabins and they told us they were no longer doing that, we now had to stay in what we purchased, another upset week. We finally accepted what we had and went up to stay for our week and all of a sudden with our reservation they didn't have any room in the lodge and put us in the 3000 series with people above us and below us and the place was smaller. We were kept up until 3 am every night except the last two with me calling security who did nothing. Then we finally decided to upgrade to the cabins we originally thought we had bought, because we had paid off the lodge, and they burned in the fire. They have not even started rebuilding them but are still underway with building all of the ones on top of the mountain where we don't own. What is the insurance I am paying for, and how many years will we have to wait? Can this be filed in a lawsuit?

We purchased into Westgate Travel Club, while vacationing in Gatlinburg. We were never told that we only had 3 days to cancel, if we changed our mind. By the time that we returned home from vacation, it had been 5 days. after doing some research into this companies reviews, I immediately e-mailed them stating my desire and intention, to cancel my contract. I was told that I couldn't cancel now. What kind of chicken mess is that. And sadly enough, we were on our honeymoon, and told them so--three times. All they see is that bottom dollar.

I would be interested in entering into a class action lawsuit against Westgate. I have been trying to fight them regarding their maintenance fees. They increase their maintenance fees significantly every year to the point where you could stay in a hotel for a week for the same price, without having to buy the timeshare. They also did claim things in their sales process that they never did, like adding a water park at their River Ranch location.

I purchased a Westgate timeshare in Orlando about 20 years ago. It has long been paid for but now I would like to get rid of it. You cannot give it away. Westgate will let me deed it back for $1200.00
When I purchased it I was told it was a good investment. They are only interested in what they can get out of you. If the timeshare was worth anything they would take it back without any fees. It has been paid for many years.
The only way they can sell it is with high pressure sales tactics which caused them to lose a lawsuit in Tennessee.
As fraudulent as they are, I am surprised that there are not more class action lawsuits.

I am very interested in a lawsuit with Westgate. Please contact me at cmicro2017@hotmail.com if anyone knows of one that is going on that has to do with the ridiculous rise of maintenance fees.

We are definitely interested in the class action lawsuit. The more we get the better our chances of shutting them down. I’m tired of the lies and so much pressure was put on us to get the timeshare. Almost 5 hours. Then when we went to use our week it was almost $900 in maintenance fees. Along with being threatened to be physically thrown out if we didn’t quiet down. That was our first warning also. Not to mention we were forced to go to a meeting to discuss how we liked the place and was forced to listen to another sales pitch for 4 hours. May24mary@gmail.com.

I own at Orlando I need to get out, sick spouse I am unable to pay. Any info or guidance will be appreciated
I think I will stop paying this month but am hopeful there is something I can do. I have not used the resort yet due to illness. I am ok with walking away from what I have spent but can afford this no more.
Thanks all and God bless

I purchased my time share in Gatlinburg Tennessee 2017 i was told i can use it anytime in 2019 so i tried to schedule my time now so it would be available at the time i wanted to go when i called it was a different story they told me I could only go in jan who in their right mind would pay 8500 for something they could only use in the winter then someone called me about putting it up for sale which was another 1800 so i was scammed twice altogether with this timeshare i called the women who sold it to me and explained to her that they said i only get it in jan she said thats not right call back i did and they still gave me a run around

i am with you i first purchased one in Gatlinburg in 2004 and then one in orlando, and was told it was worth more but told they would sell it to me for 65, 000 and i have it paid for and deeded to me, why oh why did i do this, why you ask welll i was pressured, so pressured, i had gotten a call in the middle of the sell of my best friends death and tried to leave numerous times, never could salesman even followed me downstairs and to the restroom and had a woman salesperson bring me to get something to drink and to the table to calm me and then they both started to pressure me. i felt like i could not get out of it. after hour and hour finally four or so i signed just to get out, and when i went to the next office it was the same way and the next i did not think i was ever going to leave the place, i have not paid in two years health conditions, now they are sueing me. they wont let me deed it back want money, they wont let me sell it back nothing and they say it was worth more than what they sold it to me for. what is up with that. and they also say you have to make 50, 000 and be married and all that stuff to buy, bull * i am single and on ss. they are full of you know what lets all get together and go after them.

Las Vegas flamingo resort is a joke I’ve been paying for 3 years and haven’t even seen the resort! I was sold something that doesn’t exist!

I am very interested in a lawsuit with Westgate. Please contact me. If anyone knows of one pertaining to HOA's and maintenance fees please contact me ASAP

My wife and I are also interested in joining any Class Action litigation against Westgate. We can't seem to give away the Orlando site, that we never use and are $20K into. I find it sad that the founder of Westgate has embarked on building the largest residential home in the USA (85, 000 square feet - seriously!?!?!?!), instead of doing right by their customers. Please count us in.

My wife and her ex purchased a unit and lockout in Orlando for Christmas week every other year and paid around 28, 000 for it. Same thing. Told it was a great investment and could always sell at a premium. In fact, they were told that they could get assistance from Westgate as they have buyers lining up to purchase. LOL. There is a special place in hell for those salespeople and their evil CEO. The ex deeded it over to her. Smart guy. Any way we have rented it out successfully and made more than the HOA, but, I want to be rid of that POS. I would join any class action suit against them. If you get it going or find one, post the info here. Thanks.

Want to be apart of Westgate class action suit my email is Quishana1@gmail.com.

i would like for an attorney to contact us about another class a lawsuit against Westgate refusing to sell a 3rd party the timeshare as we cannot afford it anymore. We have never got to use it because they lied about the usages and times ava. etc. not only that but they told us when we bought it that if we ever wanted to sell it that there would never be a problem well again they lied. instead of them letting us sell it they would rather us have a foreclose and then they will get the property to resale to another idiot. in two years we have not gotten to use it and when we called they said its not ava. those days and then if there was any days ava.it would cost us $ 350 to stay there 4 days. what the hell are we paying monthly mortgage fees then. Anyhow i would like to start a class a action against Westgate for not allowing a 3rd party to pay off all expenses' owed to Westgate for this unit and to buy the timeshare of the offer they gave us at $36, 750.00.the money is currently in a account ready to be disbursed as soon as the timeshare deed is Available. the contract the buyers sent me has already been signed and ready to go . Westgate however will not allow this sale to be completed. PLEASE contact me asap.
